Deputies help with toddler locked in vehicle

Leelanau County Sheriff's deputies called out with a vehicle that had pulled over to the side of the road on S Lake Leelanau Dr. near Fouch Road at 11:28 pm Thursday.  The 61 year-old Leland Township woman was adjusting a child in the backseat and did not need any assistance.  Deputies drove away since their assistance was not needed and the driver was safe.

At 12:15 am, the same woman called Leelanau Dispatch to report that she had arrived home on E. Lingaur Road and accidentally locked her 3 year-old passenger in the running car.  The child was not in danger.

The same deputies that made contact 45 minutes earlier arrived and were able to assist the woman by gaining entry into the vehicle so the toddler could be removed.
